    I like Buff and Shine Uro-Fiber to cut, and yellow Uro-Tec to polish with. If I need further finishing I use the white.

    I like the Rupes Blue Wool Coarse pads and the Rupes Yellow foam is good too. But other than the Rupes Blue Wool, all of my foam pads are Buff and Shine Uro-Tec like dlc95 recommended.

    Buff and Shine Uro-Fiber and Uro-Tec pads work great on a 3" DA Polisher.

    What are you working on?

    I also like the B&S Uro fiber though.

    Volkswagen Jetta 2006, it seems to have very hard paint.

    Re: What Pads

    I like the Rupes blue coarse wool pads though the B&S Uro-Fiber is supposed to be similar. I also like the Rupes pads (yellow, white) but use the B&S Uro-Tec pads more (most colors) but stick to yellow as a 2nd pad for the Rupes coarse wool or Uro-fiber.

    I like the LC Force Hybrid pads. They hold up well, polish great and work great on random orbit action.

    Agreed, also run those 3 inchers on my flex rotary with great success.
